Jim has talked before about gateway fantasy, meaning great books to read first so as to fall in love with fantasy fiction. This episode? This is the opposite. Jim brings six great fantasy books forward as books those new to the genre should absolutely avoid, should be shielded from, until they develop some fantasy muscle, lest they flee from the genre forever. Because THAT would be a tragedy. Friends don't start friends on any of these books.
